I am a huge fan of good-looking, well-designed Tattoos...piercings I dislike enormously (except for one tongue-ring I saw on a waitress one).
This really made me happy in a drooly kind of way....NUDITY WARNING. Well done body paint jobs...well, some of them. Fran pay special attention to Page 4-I think there's one you'll especially like!!!
Anne watched it too!!!!!
For Bloom County fans this is terrific! Fran-I need it for Xmas please...the DVD/VCR player is installed and running-please hit Burn by mistake the next time you watch it :) Thx
First off please welcome Terry -a new reader of Blog O' the Blurf!
Thanksgiving Dinner was good...
I slept until about 2-then played with my laptop, and watched Green Bay get annihlated by the DETROIT LIONS--heheheh.
Then I got dressed and ventured to my parents where it was an All-Adult Thanksgiving Dinner (Suz went to Perry to see her clan). My brother Marc's kids were with the Ex-bitch (trust me its accurate).
We ate and then sat around talking about Ebay-my brother is into it too and has done amazingly well. He focuses on car parts-predominantly classic Datsun pieces. Just do a search for downhill-bill
During this discussion I started lining up my agenda of selling everything I've lined up to do....OMFG I'm way behind schedule, although I've sold 4 pieces in the past 2 weeks so maybe it's not so bad. I also made $8.50 off a Star Trek Fanclub magazine....pleasant surprise.
Fran-my parents send Best Wishes...they miss you guys too-and they said you're a good influence on me! They really don't know you that well after all do they?
First off-Happy Thanksgiving to all!! Eat well and enjoy the day!
What am I thankful for???
1) Suzette..plain & simple-she is my love and my life. I am nothing without her.
2) My parents and brothers and Suz's family
3) My best friend and his family-they've always been supportive and Erin rocks!
4) My job-it gets stressful but I'm making more $ than I ever have
5) My condo-I own it-I am building equity towards selling for a new house in 5 yrs
I just have an awesome life!
Ok so it wasn't so bad...but now its beginning to really hurt-was given a prescription for Vicodin but I don't like strong narcotics so Advil will do for now. The dentist didn't gas me, rather he doped me up with so much Novocaine you could've punched me in the mouth and I'd just laugh like a doped-up Cocaine addict.
Now I get to stay home and work on the new laptop for a couple days and finish up some last minute wedding Thank You notes from late presents.
In other news I got spammed 4 times by a Penis Enlargement site..joy. He's banned.
Hello friends...what a weekend....hey the Bills scored twice and still lost...4-7 on the season...think I owe someone at Suz's office $5...
The notebook rocks!!!! Last night we installed a Wireless Adapter-works like a charm. I spent some time playing with it today-music/videos crystal clear. You can see a picture of it here-just a sharp looking, well running machine. I need to use it creatively. Could use it for my web-design projects-who knows.
Saturday we got pictures done for the Church Directory. Now we told these people-Olan Mills-we had just gotten married 5 weeks ago. We have 2 huge proof books full of wedding photos we're still weeding through-we don't need their services except for the free Directory shots and one 5x7 photo for us that came with it. Photographer all good and nice-we told him we had just gotten married-BIG MISTAKE! He gave us a sob story about his "Honeymoon from Hell"-didn't need to hear it. Oh and I wanted to smack him for calling Suz "Honey"...hey dude-yer not an old woman or a relative-no mushy terms needed.
Well we go to the Proof Viewing Room (aka Church Library temporarily destroyed to meet their needs) and again we tell the woman showing us-no additional photos needed. We pick the Directory shots-very nice-we're thrilled, ok...Can we go now? NO...She pushed every selection they had and pushed it hard. We felt really disturbed by the overly religious attitude she took as well. Listen it's a Church Directory-not an ID badge to go to heaven...thanks.
Today-we greeted at church and finished going through our wedding pics-Fran you have some really nice shots of you, Erin & Beck which will come at some point hopefully before Christmas.
Shall we? Are you sure you wanna know what sheer, unadulterated torture is???
Having the UPS Deliveryman hand you your brand new laptop JUST AS YOU'RE LEAVING FOR WORK!!! (Sigh...)...well I'll have the weekend.
Oh, they also sent my 256 Meg upgrade...separately. I ordered it all at the same time-would it have been that difficult to say...oh....put it together then?!?!?!
Have a good weekend friends
I want to thank those of you who read my blog...I know I whine and vent a bit, however I do try to be entertaining and informative. Thank you all for granting me a little bit of your time!
Ahhhh...the media has found something else to commence an orgy about...Michael Jackson.
C'mon now-if you're honestly surprised about this, please remove the blinders and crawl out from the rock you've been hiding under. In 1993 he uses hush-$ to shut one kid up. Then recently he publically states-quoting from MSNBC-"Jackson said he had slept in a bed with many children. “When you say bed you’re thinking sexual,” he said in the interview. “It’s not sexual, we’re going to sleep. I tuck them in. ... It’s very charming, it’s very sweet.”"
You tuck them in....Ummmm-it's not sweet...you're 45 years old (that alone is disturbing coming from a guy who remembers watching the Jackson 5) and you should be sleeping with an CONSENTING ADULT-man or woman I don't care....or ALONE (gee there's a thought).
I think he's done...it's well-known that he's strapped for cash, and authorities are not going to levy this serious a charge/charges and a $3 million bail unless their guns are loaded. My bet is the Thriller Man is going to do some Jailhouse Rock!
Well, hey-at least its something else to keep "Bennifer" out of the news.

Our church has been asking members to step up and do projects for the church...so after a discussion today with our Pastor, I have decided to take on the role of Webmaster.
The site needs massive renovation. They have 100 megs and are only using about 5. I still need to get the congregation on board for it for some historical photos and information, but I'm going to have a lot of fun with it.
Sometimes reestablishing a relationship with an old friend or teacher can have great results.
We had my very first teacher and his wife over, Dr Stan & Mrs Rhoda Sapon, for dinner Saturday night. Dr S taught me how to talk (I never learned how to shut up) and fine-tuned my cognitive abilities as a very young child. I have always maintained some sort of contact with them but never really spent quality time with them.
Over Vege Lasagna (from Chef Suzette) and Apple Pie, I learned a great deal about how my disability was viewed as a child. I didn't start talking until I was 3 and not because of my disability, but because with 3 brothers all I needed to do was point at something and grunt and I would be given whatever it was.
He also gave us some spectacular pictures of my childhood times with him (I was such a CUTE wittle kid!). We talked about everything from politics to the joys of marriage and even how much of an impact my success has had on their hearts and memories.
I am grateful...and honored that we-in their words, "have been such a joy" to them and I owe them much.
Gotta love it!!!
70mph winds this morning...it actually pushed open our porch doors. Woke up at 7:30 due to the wind howling...went back to bed, woke up again at 9:30...then finally slept until 1. Wake up-house is FREEZING. Ends up the winds were so powerful they blew open our locked patio doors. I took some rolled up rugs and placed them against the doors-hopefully they'll stay shut.
Now I've made it to work-it's a whiteout...6" of snow expected by tonight and 3" more tmrw...
Hey Fran-good time to come home!!! :)
Update: Tooth is toast...gets pulled 11/25...so much for Mass Chow on Thanksgiving...
Well...sitting in the Lunchroom at work eating dinner (Lasagna courtesy of new sis-in-law) when I feel a tiny crack....yep...cracked another filling. I just had one done before our wedding that was incredibly painful. This is on a molar...probably gonna have to cap it...another pile of cash to the dentist...Oh Joy!
In other news, the Fran Clan has posted an update on their health issues...their daughter blew chunks on a schoolbus...not pretty.
Some of the Wedding Pics are up in an album my buddy Ken put up for me!!! Thanks man!!!!
Reduced the "Participating" section (since I only do them occassionally) and added a new Paid-to-Click Email "PTC" section on the left side...if you're interested, great!
Suz did an all-Saturday Scrapbooking day in Syracuse today...had a blast and is home safe & sound snoring like a bandsaw! :)
I spent the day almost getting Fran's EQ character killed... but somehow he survived and I died...but didn't lose my level so it's not so bad. BY THE WAY-Fran and his family have the PanBulgarian Lungcookie Death Cough...please drop by and wish him well. When he coughs and I hear a splat, it's a bad thing. :(
New Ebay items up...please check them out!
My oldest brother & I had an interesting conversation while he was home for the wedding. I listen to the Rush Limbaugh show on the way to work-not because I really like or agree with him, but he riles me up and wakes me up a bit.
Actually I love listening to one of his "substitute teachers"-Roger Hedgecock-he's a lot funnier!
Now we know he was allegedly involved in obtaining Oxycontin, the highly-addictive painkilling drug and has now taken a month to "seek treatment". For his sake I hope he has, however if he truly obtained the "thousands" of these pills that has been reported, I hope his sudden "redemption" doesn't stop authorities from charging and prosecuting him appropriately.
This story has generated an enormous amount of sympathy for him, and his show and popularity will probably skyrocket after he gets out and returns to the air but I hope, that if the evidence is strong enough, that he will get his dues for using his wealth to illegally purchase this medication. Wealth does not mean you are innocent.
Well I got the van back....cause of the Spark shower was a bad ground and some corroded wires. Easy fix-$30...not bad at all and I'm back at work.
Its funny, one of the people at work didn't understand why I couldn't just jump in another person's car and come to work if need be...well I could've but both my wheelchairs were in the van and were trapped by the ramp being locked up. I could've had Suz or Dad drive me in and have me hop into the office, but a lot of people at work have not seen me out of my chair...sometimes it's just not right.
Ok...an interesting few days we have had...
Medical: Suz has a Baker's Cyst in her knee...not anything dangerous but painful as hell. And she thinks she's still gonna go bowling tmrw...ha!
We were at the JCC getting ready to go home after our workout and were putting up my hydraulic wheelchair ramp in the van when it popped, sparked, and died...had to manually put up the ramp and drive it to the Garage and get my dad to drive us home. I'm now off Monday unpaid...joy.
